Are you a person of action? Or are you the type that plans and plans until there is no time left for action? Perhaps you are paralyzed by fear. I am here to tell you that it is time to take action. It doesn't matter what action you take, so long as you start. I recommend starting with action that faces your fears.

Are you afraid to call your prospects on the phone? Pick up the phone and dial. It is the ONLY way to get past this fear. View each call you make as practice for your pearl-in-waiting. With each call you make, your skills improve. You get the opportunity to fail forward. You get the opportunity to make your mistakes on your practice calls. In fact, spend a little money buying some cheap leads to practice on. Most importantly, maintain your posture and have fun. Believe in what you're doing and it will show.

Are you afraid to share your opportunity with your friends? Ask them for their help in giving you their honest opinion of your product. Ask them if you can practice on them.

Even if they are not interested, they may know someone who is.

Are you afraid to approach strangers or your luke-warm market? Well then, find a way to get them to approach you. Wear your colors: wear a button, wear a t-shirt, wear a hat, or publicly use your products. Once you have their attention, see if you can find a need.
